About This Item
New York. 1924. Brentano's. 1st American Edition. Date Penned in Front, Otherwise Good in Green Cloth. No Dustjacket. 163 pages. hardcover. keywords: Litreature Drama Ireland. FROM THE PUBLISHER - With Saint Joan, Shaw reached the height of his fame as a dramatist. In this magnificent play he distilled many of the ideas he had been trying to express in earlier works on the subjects of politics, religion and creative evolution. Fascinated by the story of Joan of Arc, but unhappy with the way she had traditionally been depicted, Shaw wanted to remove the whitewash which disfigures her beyond recognition'. He presents a realistic Joan: proud, intolerant, naive, foolhardy, always brave - a rebel who challenged the conventions and values of her day. As Imogen Stubbs writes, All Joans are relevant but some Joans are more relevant than others - I think Shaw's Saint Joan is the right one to be received by the twenty-first century'. inventory #6932
